The Must-Have Tools that You Never Knew Your Makeup Bag was Missing
Achieving foundation that’s flawless, eyes that pop, and brows
that are on fleek is only partly to do with the makeup products that you use.
Having the right tools is just as important, and yet, few of us spend as much
money on our makeup tools as we do our makeup products.
Do you wonder how makeup artists get their clients’ makeup looking so perfect? A lot of women presume that the reason
makeup looks so good when applied by a makeup artist is because of their
training. Although that’s part of the reason, it’s also because they have access
to all the best makeup and all the best tools.
If you’re anything like me, then the chances are that your
makeup bag is packed full of high-end makeup, but very few tools for makeup
application. To up your makeup game, investing in the right tools is a must. So,
with that in mind, below is a list of all the must-have makeup tools that makeup
artists swear by.
Quality makeup brushes
The chances are that your makeup bag is already home to at least
a couple of makeup brushes. However, the question is, are they quality makeup brushes? It’s not about buying designer makeup
brushes; it’s about buying high-quality ones. This is because how a brush
applies a product to your skin depends on the quality of the brush. As a rule of
thumb, cheaper made brushes don’t tend to be as effective when it comes to
picking up product or applying it to the skin. The most important thing when
selecting makeup brushes is to be selective - don’t pick a set of brushes, find
the right brush for each task. For instance, you may find that for applying
powder Eco Tools brushes are best, whereas for applying foundation Mac’s brushes
are best. When it comes to picking brushes, it’s somewhat a case of trial and
error, and totally depends on your personal preference.
Makeup spatula
A makeup spatula is a makeup bag must-have, and yet, very few
people have them or have ever thought to invest in them. Because makeup artists
use the same products on various people, hygiene is crucial. Ask any makeup
artist, and they’ll tell you that for applying makeup hygienically, the use of a
makeup spatula is crucial. To keep your makeup clean, having a
specialist spatula in your makeup bag is a must so that you can use that to
remove the amount of product that you need to use, instead of using your fingers
or an already used brush.
Makeup sponge
A couple of years ago, when the Beauty Blender was first
created, makeup sponges were all the range. They were the must-have beauty
products, and it’s easy to see why - they offer seamless makeup application and
are incredibly versatile, unlike makeup brushes that tend to have one purpose
and are especially made for it. If you haven’t already got a makeup sponge, it’s
definitely worth investing in one. However, a foam sponge may not be the best
bet - a silicone sponge could be the answer. A new concept, silicone
makeup sponges, apply makeup in the same way as traditional sponges but without
absorbing any of the product being used, meaning that there’s much less waste,
and also that they are more hygienic as they’re quicker and easier to clean.
There you have it, a guide to the must-have tools that you never
knew your makeup bag was missing.
